Finally got laptop to read my 1998 Z28 PCM. Out of frustration in not getting it to work have been using LSedit while EFI has stayed in its box.
Bear in mind this was three years ago. Even though others with their laptop could read my PCM and I could read and upload using LSedit I kept getting boot loader errors using the tuner - the scanner would not connect either. Even sent files to Blacky. He sent me a new cable. It did not work.
The issue appeared to be USB related because I could scan with V6. At the time I uninstalled and reinstalled the current versions at the time as well as the more recent USB drivers.
Move forward to yesterday. A Camaro owner was going to read my PCM with HP tuners and also see if he could read my PCM using my EFI cable. He could with his laptop.
His suggestion - download the latest version of Net Framework. I did and as soon as it started it initiated a repair.
After the repair completed I attempted one more time to make a read of my PCM with my laptop. I thought - might as well humor myself one more time - can't hurt to try something.
Bingo - It read the first time (in three years) and at highspeed. Meaning I can now use both the scanner and tuner.
So why would a version of net framework fix a apparent software issue on my laptop three years back - I have no idea.
Now - my second issue.
When I view my tune that was downloaded today I get this error message when viewing the tune.
I want to enable B3801 - appears that the last tuner disabled it. But I don't want to attempt to upload the fix until it is clear that these two errors won't be uploaded back into the pcm overwriting some correct parameters.
Any suggestions how to fix or what parameters to insert for these two errors.
Note I did a clean install of vers 7.5 and also installed the update immediately after.
This the error message:
Out of Range calibration summary: 03:18:15 pm, Sunday Feb 08, 2009

{B5944} Spark IAT vs ECT Multiplier, contained one or more out of range values when loaded.

Thanks in advance
